Greetings!

Hope all of our mommies enjoyed Mother's Day! I would have to say that for me Saturday felt more like Mother's Day - I spent the day working in the yard watching my girlies climb trees, play soccer, skip, swing, roast marshmallows on a campfire ... and get really dirty! That's what it's about - enjoying your children!

Blog Challenge!

Are you keeping up with our blog? Our first Blog Challenge is well underway! We are updating projects to our daily blog as they are sent to us - if sending your entry to us causes you any stress please drop into the store or get in touch with us.

Here's the run down on our Blog Challenge...

You are to create a project based on the inspiration we have presented to you on our Blog site. This project can be of any size, style or technique provided that you also include the required "inspiration". Your project is to be completed within a two week window and are due by 5:00pm on Monday May 16th. To enter your project in our challenge simply email a photo of it - or if this technology is a bit overwhelming just drop into the store with your project and we'll take a photo for you!

This isn't just a challenge for the fun of it - there's a prize for our random winner!

Your project inspiration...you have to visit our Blog for that!

Card Class

Thursday May 19th

7pm to 9pm

No hints this week! You can look back at any of our classes and see that they are well worth being a part of! There are three cards planned and the class is already half full ... don't miss out!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Remember: if you can't make it to a class let us know! We can prepare a kit for you or book a class for you during the day! ***Please note that you must sign up and pay for your kit in advance of the class - we will not be making kits after the class has been held and classes are not transferable as your kit will have been cut for you.

Making Your Own Envelopes

In a few of our latest card classes we have also been making our own envelopes. Our tool of choice for this task is the EK Success - Martha Stewart Score Board. Not only does this tool have 1/8" scoring increments, it also features an envelope tool.

However, many of our customers have in their stash the Scor-Pal Scoring Board. As she has been surfing the web Lilian has found step-by-step instructions to help you customize your own envelopes using the Scor-Pal.
